El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar los efectos del entrenamiento en la iniciación al aprendizaje lector. Los participantes en el estudio fueron 144 niños de Preescolar de cuatro escuelas públicas de Galicia, pertenecientes a la zona rural de la Comarca del Paradanta. Del total, 72 formaron los tres grupos experimentales y otros 72 los tres grupos de control. El diseño utilizado fue un pretest-postest con sujetos aleatorizados. La medida de las habilidades lectoras se hizo mediante el Test de Reconocimiento Visual y Conversión Grafema-Fonema (TECOL). Los datos recogidos se trataron a través de un análisis de varianza de medidas repetidas. El entrenamiento incrementó significativamente las puntuaciones de las habilidades lectoras de los grupos experimentales, comparado con los grupos controles. El programa ha mostrado una triple interacción entre Medida × Entrenamiento × Nivel Escolar. Ello significa que hubo variación significativa en las puntuaciones medias de las habilidades lectoras fruto del entrenamiento y según los distintos niveles escolares. Se concluyó que la habilidad de lectura básica a desarrollar en la Educación Infantil es la habilidad de identificación y nombramiento de letras.

Facilitating alphabet knowledge in preschool through training in coding, graphomotor and reading. The goal of the present study is to analyze the influence of training in initiation to learning reading. Participants in the study were 144 preschool children from four public schools of Galicia, from a rural area of the Region of Paradanta. Out of the total sample, 72 were assigned to the experimental groups and 72 to the control groups. The design was pretest-posttest with randomized participants. Reading skills were measured with the Visual Recognition and Grapheme-Phoneme Conversion Test (TECOL).The data was analyzed with repeated measures analysis of variance. Training significantly increased the reading skill scores of the experimental groups, compared to the control groups. The program has shown a triple interaction between Measure Training × Level School. This means that there was significant variation in mean scores of reading skills as a result of training and according to the different school levels. It is concluded that the basic reading skill to develop in early childhood education is the identification and naming of letters.
